BRAZIL'S NEW GOVERNMENT. All the Provinces Have Agreed to the Change. WHEREABOUTS OF DOM PEDRO. Something of a Mystery—The New Government Dictates Cable Dis parches—Coffee Exchange Ex- cited—Germany Predicts, Ruy Barbosa's Message. \Copyright 1859 by James _Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, Nov. 18.—[New York Herald Cable — Special w0 Tue Bew.) — The first ofcial notification of the revolution which the Brazilian legation received came’ from Rio Janeiro at 4 o'clock this afternoon, ad- dressed 1o the Brazilian minister at London. ““The government I8 constituted as the re- pubiic of the United States of Brazil. The monarchy is deposed and the imperial family has lett the country; tranquility and general satisfaction provails, The executive power is entrusted to a provisional government whose head is Marsbal Deodoro, with myself as finauce minister, The republic strictly respects all engagements, obligations and contracts of state.”” The message is signed Ruy Barbosa, finance minister. A short time before the cablegram arrived a dispatch of inquiry -for news was received at the legation from the commander of the _ Brazlian cruiser now lying at Portsmoutn, It was answerad to the effect that no official news had been received. A later copy of tho cablegram was sent to the anxious com- mander. It is feared in London financial circles that Brazil before long will become divided into several small republics and that in such an event it would be difficult, if not impogsible, 10 avoid disputes as to the apportionment of the public debt, Although the fall in Brazil stocks has been_ severe to-day it would have been much more serious if they had not. been strongly held. Brazilian securities have heretofore becn in great favor with the large banks and private financial firms who to-day have neid firmly, thus preveuting a complete collapse in the market, The crisis in Brazil * has had & very serious effect on Portugese and Spanish stocks and securities. A feel- ing is prevailing somewhat generally that serious volitical problems, possibly affecting the existence of dynasties will soon press for solution, o the peninsula it is expected that Brazilian diplomatic agents abroad will re- ceive to-morrow atelegraphio eircular from the new povernment for communication to thev arious governments to which, they are accredited. The Government Organized. Rio De Janiero (via Galveston), Nov. 18. —Dom Pedro and the imperial family loft yesterday for Lisbon on the steamer Ala- ®oas, which wus escorted on . the Brazilian coast by Riachuels. Senor Patrocinio has been imprisoned for conspiracy awainst vhe republic. The gov- ernors named by the provisional govern- ment ave ail military men. The denomina- tion adopted by the government for the vepublic is the United States of Brazil. The province of Bohai has proclaimed for the republic. Pouce and quictness veigns, ‘The republic will allow the deposed emperor 800 cantons de Reis per nnnum during life. The five articles of the government decree are: A republic is proclaimed; the pro- vinces of Bravii united by federation com- 80 the united states of Brazil; each stato will form its own local government; each stato will send representatives to a congress which will convene shortly and the final decision of which the provisional government will await; in the meantime the governors of the stutes will adopt means to maintain order and protect citizens' Tights. The nation’s internal and external rights will bo represented meunwhile by a provincial government, How Dom #edro Took It, Rio De Jaxemo, Nov. 18.—General Da Fonseca Senhor Constant and others pro- ceeded to Petropolis Friday morning and informed the emperor that he had been dethroned. Dom Pedro, supported by his fumily received the deputation with ab- solute composure, General Da Fonseca was spokesman, He said Brazil had advanced far enough in the path of civilization to dispense ‘witha monarchy. The country while grateful 10 the emperor for his patriotic services was firmiy resolved to recognize only a republic. Dom Pedro made o dignified reply. He declined to abdicate, but suid he would yield to force, The imperial family was allowed one hour to prepare for their departure, " Will Maincain Order. R10 JANEIRO, Nov. 18.—The new govern- ment bas announcea that it will firmly main- tain order. It 18 preparing a circular to for- elgn governments relative to the overthrow of tho empire, which will b telegraphed to them through the Brazilian representatives abrond. The province of Bahia has sigoified its adherence to the republic. The news from other provinces shows they ure also in favor of a republican form of government, Brazilian Securitivs Falling. Loxnon, Nov. 18.—Brazilian securities fell B per cont on the London stock exchange to- day. Itis difficult to effect trausactions on these securitics. A Censorship on the Oable, Loxnox, Noy, 18.—The tatest intelligence received at Rio Janeiro indicates that ldahia und Pernambuco were in & state of tranquil~ ity. The people everywhere are so much ab- sorbed in the new order of things politically that business is at a complete standstill. ‘There is said to be considerable wystery at Rio Janiero in regard to the departure of the emperor and his fumily, It is asserted in some quarters thel be has not yet left the country. Commercial dispatches are forwarded from Brazil to foreign countries without scrutiny or delay. dispatehes, however, reating to the political situation, or giving sny informatiou regarding the government, bave 1o be submitted to a censor. ‘Ahe result of this is that the only intelli- genco about the revolution which Lius reached the outside world, except the very moagre facts that have got through commercial tele- Eraws in cipher, is that which meets the ap- Pproval of the government censorship, A dispatch bus been received at the Bra- zilian leguvion here from Barhosa, minister of finance of the new government, directing qhe Hraziliun minister to notify the London stock exchange that all finsucial engage- ments entered nto \.{ the imperial govera- meot will be faitufully observed by the re- ublic. This dispatch it is thought wil ve @ roassuring effect in financial aod cummercial circles, Finaliy Gonvinced, Wasmixaroy, Nov. 18.--There was no news of the Brazilian mivistry to-dey cou- cerning the recent revolution in Brazil, Iv is nt, however, that the Brazilian ere have become flaally conviaced that the emperor has been overthrown, B Mnvine Delvgates Withdraw. ‘Wasuixguon, Nov. 18.—Before the marine wonforence arose for the noon recess to-day Avwiral Viel, of Chili, anuounced that he had been requested by Captains Gama aod THE OMAHA DALy BEE Mautity, delogates from Hrazil, to say that in view of she present condition of affairs in their country they would no longer sit in the conference, Nothing has been recoived at the state de- partment to-day concarning the revolution in Bruzil, The failure to receive additional in- formation leads the department officials 1o think the cables have beenseized. Other- wise the representatives of the United States would doubtless havo kept our government advised of the progress of events, g Excited. Nrew Yonk, Nov: 18 —Thore was great ox- citement at the coffee exchange this morning due to tho Interest in the Brazilian situation. Up o 11:90 the usual Rio Janiero cable had not arrived, and all attention was centered on the expectation of the news it would bring. Coffes advanced from fiftoen to Hfty-five points over Saturday's close. The Kathorland's Lnterests, Coroaxe, Nov. 18 —The Cologne Gazotte, allnding to German interests in Brazil, says: “'A @reat part of thoe population of southern Brazil 18 faithfuily attached to the father- land, and cherishes German traditions. It is bardly likely the republic will succeed in saving this enormous stato from chaos, The volitical destiny of southern Brazil bas ciaims upon (lerman interests and sympu- thies. It muy therefore seriously affect Ger- wan relations with Brazil.” Followed Boulanger's Tisad. ViEsNA, Nov. 18.—The Brazian minister here says General DaFonsca, when in- trusted with the command of the garrison at Rio De Janeiro, bocame fired by the example sot by Boulanger and_conceived tho idea of seizng the government. Ho has since been plotting and the revolution is the result. Valente Has Not Resigned. WasmiNoroy, Nov. 18.—Ihe Brazilian minister to-night received two telegrams from Brazll, one from the minister of foreign affairs and the other from the mini ter of finance. They were simply confirma- # pross reports. Dr. Valente, the razilian minister to-night denied the truth of the reports that lie had resigued. Esta Ot HALF A MILULON INVOLVED. And the Courts Sa; Must Not Be Stiflad, New Onreixs, Nov. 1 The state sn- preme court to-day rendered a decision in the case of the Texas Pacific vs, the South~ ern Pacific railroad company to enforce the specific performance of certain stipulations “of the contract made to adjust the differences existing between the Huntington and Gould roads and involving about half a million dotlars, The judgment of the lower court in favor of the defendant is affirmed, and tho opinion says the plaigtifi's suit ison an illegal contract. All contracts which have a tendency to stifle competition, to create or foster monopolics, With a view to uareason- ubly increasing the vaiues of commodities against the public interests, can confer to the parties thereto no rights which the courts of justice can recognize or enforce. Classification -.f Freight. Cmoaco, Nov. 18.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—As the ovening of congrass ap- proaches the inter-state commerce commis- sion is getting correspondingly anxious for the national classificution commitiee to make ashowing. In brief, the plan 18 to adopt & system of classifications on all classes of freight to_apply overywhere in the Unito States. It is & millenium plan which the railroad men are fearful congress wil) force on them, and which, dxcept 1n sccret, they do not dare oppose.” To & man, however, they declare the scheme utterly impractica ble. In_other words, urticies in one section of the counury are and ought to be classified differently from the same ar- ticles in other sections. Should the scheme ever be put into practico the railroads will immediately nullify its effects by chorging different rates on the new classification. A numboer of congressmen at the last session, urged on by constituents who were suffering from an nileged wrongful classidcation of their products, brought the matter oficially 1o the attention of the inter-state commerce commission. That body suw the folly of the scheme and the ease with which it could be counteracted he railroads, and adopted a do-nothing policy, which the congressmen were not slow to perceive. They gave the commission a sharp prod by threat- ening to take the matter _out of their hands and perform it by congressional enactment. Thereupon the commission appointed Chairman Midg- ley, of the -Southwestern division of the Western Freight association, and General Freignt Ageats Johnson, of the Rock Island, and Morton. of the Burlington, as a commit- tee to look 1nto the matter. The committee has done nothing since its appointment and has now been called” to hold a session in Washington beginning Wednesday, 1t is not expected any decided action will be taken, 08 the commission itself only wants enough done 1o stop the mouths of objecting congressmen. That Competition a2 Another Big Deal. BostoN, Nov. 18.—The officials of the Union Pacific said to-day of the statement that the Union Pacific and the Denver, Texas & Rio Grande roaas had consolidated, that it is anticipatory of what may come, but nothing has yet been done. Another gentle- man, who is in a position to be well informed, 8uy8 the papers were signed in New York last Weduesaay and that they were of u pre- liminary character. The agreement is much more important than the traflic arrange- ment and weans the absolute control of the Fort worih road. The details of the plan are being gradually worked up in New York and it will be some time before they can be given to the public. ‘fhe Alton Ho ds Aloof. Cn10A6o, Nov. 18.—Ths Times to-morrow will v on officlal authority tbav the Chi- cago & Alton compapy tias no intention of binding itself to uny trans-Missouri line and its arrangement with the Kansas Pileific will bs no different in future from what it has been in the past. The Alton's through train servico to Denver is sumply carrying he plan matured months ago, but the consummation of which has been unavoida- bly delayed. Earnings of the B. & O.

Prizes were awarded to-day to Adams & Eurl, of Lafayette, Ind., in the herd grand sweepstakes and to Ellvert & Hall, of Aloia, fa., in the grand sweepstakes for fat stee on Rigdon, sired by the $,000 aoimal, Sec- ond Duke of Brant, duw by Second Duke ot Alrgire, » A crack sheep bolonging to Mr, Tedd, of Wakeman, O, whis found dead this moruing in the pen.

Heo Seems to Have the Pole in the Speakership Race. . THE NEW STATES GO TOGETHER. A Prominent Candidate for the Su- prems Bench and His Carcer —A Typical Westerner ‘With No Vices. 8 FOURTERNTI STRERT, Wasnisaros, D. C.,, Nov, 18, The indications ia the spoakership coutest point to the introduction into the controversy of one of President Harrison’s appointments. It will be remembercd that some time ago there was a decided misunderstanding be- tween Messrs. Cameron and Quay on the one hand, and Sherman on the other, ovor the appontment of the solicitor of internal reve- nue, The Pennsylvania candidate for this place was B, F. Gilkson. The Ohio candi- date was Alonzo Hart., Sherman agreed to withdraw from tho contest, and it was sup- posed that the Pennsylvania man would be appointed, but the Ohio man captured the prize. Then Mr. Quay openly ac- cused Mr, Sherman of bad faith, The misunderstanding was flually cleared up und Mr. Quay was convinced that it was not Mr. Sherman but Mr. Me- Kinley who was responsible for Hart's ap- pointment, Mr. Quay promised Mr. Me- Kinley that he would even up the score, To- day Mr. Reed called at the house of Senator Cameron. He met Mr. Quay, and the taree men talked over *the speakershin prospects. When Mr. Reed left the residence of the Pennsylvania senator it was with the understanding that the votes which can be said to be controlled by the two senators will be cast for him 1n the caucus. There are seventeen of theso votes, all but four of the entire republican delegation of the state. It is also very well un- derstood that at least three of the remaining four will go to Mr. Reed. With the opening of tis campaign, therefore, Mr. Reed can calculate upon twenty votes from Pennsylvania, twenty-three from New Englund, at least two from New Jersey, and probably ninewen trom New York. ‘I'hus it will be seen thatif the above figures are cor- rect’ Mr. Reed will have sixty-four votes from the New England and middle states alone, which will give him a wonderful lead in the race, and in spite of the opposition of the west to him the desire of so mauysto be on the winning side will attract moro sup- porters to his banner und probably 1nsure his clection, THEY WILL PULL TOGETHER, Upon the suggestion of Congressman John L. Wilson, of the state of Washington, the members from the four new states bave came together and got acquainted. They in- tend to organize and act harmoniously to whatever end they may have wdividually or collectively in view for legislation in con- gress, Mr. Wilson says they will undoubt- edly cast their solid ballot *for one of the candidates for speaker and go together in the seiection of other officers of the house. Whatever action they may have agreed upon 18 & secret at this time. It is understood that they will not attempt to agree upon the speakership candidate till they become bet- ter acquaiuted with the situation. All five of the new members have been in Washing- ton several days, SUPREME BENCI VACANCIES. It 18 statea to-night that the president thinks strongly of appointing the Hon. Georeze W. McCreary, of JTowa, to the va- cancy on the bench of the supreme court. His “strongest backer is Justice Samuel Miller. Thirty ycars ago, when Justico Miller bad a law office in Keokuk, Ia., young McCreary, then a tattered youth of nineteen, walked 10t his ofMicgand asked for employ- ment. Something in the boy’s bright, am- bitious face pleased Mr. Miller and he was willing to give him a chance, but his fastidi- ous partner, Mr. Raunkin, objected and 1t was only after Iong argument that Mr. Miller persuaded Rankin to consent to young Mc- Creary’s presence in the office. The youth showed himself grateful, and though Mr, Ran’ never became very cordial he learned to respect the young ~student’s energy and industry. After Rankin’s death Mr. McCreary became Mr. Miller's law partner-aud the firm so remained until Mr, Miller was appointed to the supreme court, Mr. McCreary remained in lowa, w state he represented in_congress for several years. In 1877 he introduced the election bill in congress which resulted n the elec- tion of President Hayes, and he entered his cabinet as secretary of war. He.was alter- wards appointed Unitey States circuit judge in Towa, which office he resigned after sev- eral years and becume chief counsel fora large railroad company at Kansas City at a salary of $22,000 a year. Ho is a thorough lawyer and would bo fully the equal of any man now on tho supreme bench, POSTMASTERS APPOINTED, Tourth class postmasters were appointed to-day as follows: Nebraska—Exeter, Fillmore county, A, T.

The com- missioner was prevented from rendering a decision because of Record’s application for. review, which ut once brought the case be- fore the secretary of the interior, The papers in the case go back to Commissioner Groff's office, the same us 1f the application for re- view bad not been filed. The secretary dis- missed the case of Thomas J, Crahan vs. George H. Hess, on review from the Mitchell, South Dakota distriot. A TYPICAL WESTERNER. Congressman Gifford, of South Dakota, who had cataract taken from his eye recantly, will emerge from the dark room this weel for his usual routine work. His colleague, Major Pickler, is here and re- ceives most cordial recoptions everywhere. He 1s the most typical westerner from the lot of the new states, over six fent high, powerful frame, black bearded anl dark face, He wears a slouch hat und iu is not a difficult guess to locate his birtbpiace in Northern Missouri. He 18 not far below fifty. He served with conspicuous gallantry during the war and rose from the ranks o a major’s commission, After the war he entered the lowa university and obtained an education. Those who know him intimately speak {n the highest terms of hum as a man of character and convictions. It is said that be neither smokes, chews nor drinks, He is @ strict church mewber and occupies high ground on many questions of auvanced poli- tics, He resigned a federal position 1o make his mngm-lunnl race and was elected of course by & Dakota majority. PADDOCK'S POSTOFFICE BILL, Notwitnstanding, the fact that Senator Paddock intends to push his measure i con- #ress this winter vroviding for the construs tion of buildings for second-class. postofilces, the postoflice dopartmeut continues Lo enter into leases, for a period of five years in somo iustancs, 30 s 1o provide o ‘Lest passible quarters in private buildings for .mu&ox... Dostofis This has struck somewnen in peculiar way of doing business; but it 18 easily explained. Kven though Sens ator Paddoek’s bill sbould be adopted early in this session of congress, W will ts several {aul‘l before auy considerable numbver of uildings are constructed, ana surely Lwo or DAY MORNING, o three years before auy of thei have been be- gun. None of the buildingsiwould be ready for occupancy under fouror fid years,and thero- fore the leaces whish the igevernment hus entered into, would not ini any way inter- fére, and would not be outdof date with re- gard to economy. I is codfidently expected by those best informed on khe subject, that the postofiice building bill will become a iaw iu the hands of thiseoncress, Em CIVIL SERVICE, ROCKY TIMES There will be lively times inthe houso when the proposition comes up to sustmn the civil servico commission. Thore is to be a rigid investigation: of the working of the commission during President Clevelund's four yeurs of office, and gpoilsmen anticipate some rich disclosures. ~ Kven the most ar- dent friend of civil $ervice reform, civil ser~ vicelaw, and the enforcement of both the ro- form and the law “by & commission must acknowledge, after talking with the con- gressmen arriving in Washington from every section of the @ountry that the ten- dency s not to maintaln The law as 1t is at presént enforced. The majority of the peo- ple are in favor of civil service reform, but they are not in favor pf’the law as at present enforced. There is & wideapread impression that tricks are practised and partisanship and selfishness are kept constantly in view under the present regime, Evory wan in congress has received new impressions of civil service reform in tho recent camvaign, and all will come here loaded with original 1deas to thrust upon the national legisiature, many of which will be simpiy rdiculous, The debate ov the sub- ject will be rich, and tho proposed investiga- tion of.civil eervice reform promises to bo richer.

CANDIDATES BY THE SCORE. North Dakota’'s Senatorial Aspir- ants Gather at Bismarck. WHAT THEIR CHANCES ARE. The Hotels Crowded With Office- Seckers and Wircs Pullers — The Prospects of Orde way ana Pleree. North Dakota's Senatorial Fight. » Bismanck, 8. D,, Nov. 18.—|Special Tele- gram to Tne Bek.|—The logislature convenes to-morrow. All interest centers in tho United States senatorial fight, and there is intense excitement about the hotels and other points where the legislators and caadi- dates are congregated, During all of the day there have been can- cuses of groups of friends of the various can didates and to-night a call was issued for a joint republican caucus of the house and sen ate, but it was not held owing to the senti- ment against 1t by many of the candidates and members, Itis still claimed by Johnson's friends that he has thirty-tive votes pledged, but a canvass does not sustain the claim, Ordway has gained much hcadway since the arrival of the Walsh county delegation, three of whom are for him. ‘This disapproves the statement that there would be no votes in Walsh county for him, and if it proves true, a8 reported, that another member who willar: rive to-morrow is for him, he will have & mu- jority of the seven votes, which means a home indorsement, Walsh county. being his place of residence. Waltor Muir ALK & very small figure and McCumber is not looked upon as a formidable candidate, Spencer, of Walsh county, is not supported by the entire delegation of that county and i 08 £ood us out of the race. Jt 18 conceded by all that Gilbert A. Pierce will be elected as one of the senators, and if @ caucus had beeo held to-night he would have been elected. If the effort to make Governor Miller a candidate is a success the sccond senator- ship will be settled with dificulty, as he would bo accepted as n compromise, having pledged that he would not be a candidate, He declines to enter the race, but he may yield before to-night's caucus. F. 13. Fancher, who was president of the constitutional convention, is looked upon as @ dark horse, and it is believed that as soon as Walter Muir, of the farmers' alliance, drops out he wiil loom up with a large fol- lowing, Ex-Governor Ordway created a sensation in the Sheridan hohse this afternoon by re- senting the remark of a member 10 the effect that he wus virtually out of the race. He made a brief speech to the crowd of legisla- tors in the lobby, in which he etated that the claims of his enemies that he was nat a bona fide Dakotan was the result of malice and jealousy; that he raised more wheat und owned more proverty than two-thirds of those making charges against him. He sad there was too much treachery and double dealing on the canvass to permit silence on his part, ana tiat unless certain tactics were abandoned he would tell some unpleasant truths. His remarks were spirited and pointed and created consternation among the other candidates. A flick dcheme, Prenne, S. D, Nov, 18.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bere.]—An attempt ‘to work a slick deal has come to light across the river, on the reservation. Besides the mile square set aside by the government, and which the settlers will try to work on as a town site, they are attempting to capture an entire sec- tion adjoining as a school section. They claim to have got bearings from the govern- mont surveys on this site, calling it section 86. They have run their imaginary lines around this tract, and it is bewg occupied in force by hundreds of speculators, with new buitdings going up. The Indiaus and squaw men object to this usurpation of their rights, they baving reserved it under the severalty act. Notwithstanding this the settlers are going on with their improvements and set- thing on lots. The matter is growing serious and & conflict is immineht.
